Mr. President, what is happening here? This is the U.S. Senate. Just so everyone is clear about the bat guano-inspired insanity we just witnessed, I just proposed a nonbinding resolution condemning mob violence, and Senate Democrats…

Reserving the right to object, as I look at the language proposed by my colleague from New Jersey, I would accept the rest of it except for the words ``especially the President of the United States.'' The rest of it is unobjectionable. The…

Mr. President, before we break for the Fourth of July recess, I think it is important for the Senate to go on record condemning the rising tide of mob violence that we see across the country and the increasingly prevalent mob mentality…

Mr. President, the resolution was designed to be unifying. It avoided controversial subjects. All it asks of us is basic dignity and respect. As long as we are on the topic of rule XIX, it is unbecoming to accuse a colleague of using…

Failed by an education system and addled by a social media culture that taught them to be victims instead of citizens. A privileged, self-absorbed crime syndicate with participation-trophy graduate degrees, trying to find meaning in empty…

Mr. President, all I asked in my counter was that we remove the words ``especially the President of the United States.'' Why? Because it is different than the entire approach taken by the resolution. As long as we are calling each other…

Mr. President, as my distinguished friend and colleague from New Jersey says, the fact that they make all types of demands on publicly traded companies is not a substitute for an actual logical or legal argument as to why they are entitled…

Mr. President, reserving the right to object, the purpose of the Securities and Exchange Commission is to protect investors and to maintain orderly and efficient markets. This bill would change that deal. It would change the entire premise…

Mr. President, I have deep affection and adoration for my friend and colleague, the Senator from New Jersey. I do respectfully but strongly disagree with his position on this. He made the point several times that if he were acting as an…

Mr. President, I want to take a moment to thank Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham for adding the bipartisan and critically important END Exploitation Act to the EARN It Act, which is set for markup on Thursday. This bill…

Mr. President, over the past few months, we have all watched the power that the digital community has to make someone's passing thought go viral and the power that the digital mob has to make controversial voices completely disappear…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Free Speech

On Saturday we will celebrate the Independence Day of our country. In our Chamber we have photographs of Lafayette and George Washington. In the preamble of the Declaration of Independence, it reads: ``We hold these truths to be…

Mr. President, it is with sadness, concern, and deep disappointment that I come to the floor to acknowledge something very unfortunate that happened just last night in my own hometown of Provo, UT. A group of people were gathered in…

Mr. President, reserving the right to object, reasonable efforts to protect those working on the frontlines in the middle of a public health crisis should certainly be applied. There are many individuals across the country steadfastly…

Mr. President, reserving the right to object, we received this 125-page bill yesterday evening. I have great appreciation and respect for my colleague, the Senator from Washington, and yet I can't look at this 125-page bill we saw for the…

Madam President, I come to the floor wanting to discuss a case called June Medical Services v. Russo. This was a decision announced by the Supreme Court of the United States yesterday. This is a decision that hasn't gotten as much…

Madam President, that was the first error that I think deserves to be mentioned in this context--the error apparent in the fact that the Supreme Court ignored the fact that the plaintiffs before the Court lacked standing. They just glossed…
